How to record HST payment made for prior yr HST Return. YE is 01/31/24 and payment was made on 04/30/24. Acct filed the HST Return YE 01/31/24(different software).

You'll need to create an expense to accurately record the prior sales tax payment, p-seu-dio. I'll be glad to walk you through the process.

Before that, you'll need to set up the associate's agency as a supplier. Once done, you can proceed with recording the payment. However, I recommend contacting your accountant to confirm that the correct accounts are selected for recording to ensure accuracy in your financial records.

To create one, please follow the steps below:

1. Click on + New and choose Expense.
2. In the Payee field, input the supplier name, then select the payment account used for the expense in the Payment account field.
3. Input the date of the expense in the Payment date field and choose your payment method in the Payment method field.
4. In the Category details section, provide the expense information. Select the appropriate expense account from the Category dropdown, and add a description.
5. Input the Amount and applicable sales tax.
6. If the expense will be billed to a customer, tick the Billable checkbox and specify the customer's name in the Customer or Customer/Project field.
7. Finally, click Save and close once everything is entered.
